Abstract

So it falls to me to introduce the “miscellaneous” section. How does one do this, and make it sound exciting, and interesting—worth reading on? After all, here are the bits and pieces. The odds and sods. The various and the sundry. A potpourri of questions that don’t quite fit here and don’t quite fit there. A mishmash of scraps and sundries, of leftovers and loose ends. Surely this is the least attractive chapter in which to spend time.
